Plymouth City Living Framework - Cultural Sector Workshop

You are invited to help co-design the emerging Plymouth City Living Framework and Masterplan - a major opportunity to shape how our city grows, lives and thrives in the years ahead.

This interactive, in-person workshop, aimed specifically at cultural stakeholders in the city, will explore the role of culture and the creative industries in shaping the future city masterplan, taking us from early ideas to a shared vision ahead of formal consultation later this year.

Culture and creativity sit at the heart of what makes Plymouth distinctive, and we want that voice shaping the city's future from the outset.

This session has been tailored with support from colleagues at University of Plymouth to provide a genuine opportunity for the cultural sector to influence the vision for the city.

WHAT THE SESSION WILL INVOLVE:

• Share your lived and creative experience of Plymouth.

• Take part in a structured discussion exploring opportunities, challenges and priorities for the cultural sector.

• Collaborate on design activities to test ideas and explore solutions.

• Understand how your input is being used to inform the Framework and Masterplan.

WHY YOUR PARTICIPATION IS IMPORTANT

As an artist, maker, producer, creative practitioner, freelancer, or cultural organisation, your insight, experience and networks can directly influence how Plymouth's public spaces, buildings and neighbourhoods are shaped.

This is not a traditional consultation; it is a genuine opportunity to:

• Bring together a diverse range of perspectives from artists, creatives and cultural organisations, ensuring the conversation reflects the city's creative richness.

• Build a shared understanding of what high-quality, sustainable urban living looks like - combining best-practice principles with local, creative insight.

• Create space for genuinely collaborative planning through structured, interactive activities that allow ideas to be explored, tested and developed together.

• Ensure your input leads to meaningful influence, with clear feedback loops showing how your contributions are shaping the emerging Framework and Masterplan.
